Ch 6B - Anaerobic Fermentation

Question 1

anaerobic fermentation

Answer 1

involves the breakdown of glucose and ATP production via
glycolysis in the absence of oxygen. It allows for the replenishment of NAD+ for continued
use in glycolysis.

Question 2

variation og AF in yeast vs animals

Answer 2

conversion of pyruvate to lactic acid in animals, and
to ethanol and carbon dioxide in yeast. In doing so, both pathways regenerate NAD+ for
anaerobic glycolysis.
